Ryner stood up and tried to follow suit.

'Yeah, I intend to. Fortunately, I have the right attributes to deal with the Lord, so it's easier to understand his teachings.
Okay, Rainer. I'm going to start class again today!
"...... hmm, well, wait. Lord, are you going to do it here, by any chance?
Yeah, I'm gonna do that.

　Reiner sends his eyes to me and asks for a decision. I decide that I have no choice today and allow him to teach in this room.

'All right. So what are we going to do today then?
'Yes, here. Float this spoon until the child says it's good. If you lose your balance even a little bit, I'll tickle you.

　Lord handed Ryner a wooden spoon and ruffled his hands.

'I'd rather you hit me than tickle me: ......
'Hey, why do you want to get hit so badly ......?　You can't help but wonder about the child (straw) ....... Let's have more fun and special training, liner: ......
I'm kind of uncomfortable practicing without pain.
Yeah, yeah, .......

　While confirming that something in Ryner had been distorted due to repeated unreasonableness, the two of them activated their wind magic.
　The Lord in front of me showed an example, and Ryner imitated it.

　The spoon placed in the palm of his hand floats a few inches in the wind. The spoon of the Lord does not move as if fixed in the air, but Ryner's spoon is shaking with a plop.

'Yes. As is.''
d*mn it!

　I could tell from Ryner's expression that it was a nerve-wracking exercise, although it looked plain, but it was a nerve-wracking exercise. By nature, wind is something that blows freely and unrestrained. If you were to completely control it and bring it to a standstill, it would be like asking me to produce ice that wasn't cold. The difficulty of that would be more than dealing with advanced magic.

　The Lord stays cool, and the liner keeps sweating and the spoon stays in the air.
　I thought he was going to use more and more fancy wind magic, but Lord's class was more decent than I expected.

''I'm surprised. You don't look good on your face, but you take care of the basics.''
Well, because if you know the basics, you can apply them as much as you want, right?
'Yeah, sure. Well, now that you mention it, I suppose.

　If you can handle magic that is a mass of contradictions like wind that doesn't move, you'll be able to handle any wind magic. That rational idea was easy to accept.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it. You geniuses .......

　Along with a waterfall of sweat, Ryner let out a curse. He wanted to complain, but he couldn't seem to shout out because he was concentrating on the wind.

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this.
　I'm not sure who is the best at this, especially when it comes to magical talent.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Eventually, after a few minutes or so, Ryner's control of the wind was disrupted and the Lord tickled him in the armpit.
　Ryner pleads for a change in his teaching methods as he catches his breath.

'Hah, hah ....... Hey, hey, isn't there any basic training that comes from the ideas of geniuses like this, but for ordinary people?　I'm just trying to be strong as fast as I can.
'There are certain things. For example, how to use 'chanting' to pay the 'price'.
...... and that's it.
'Then Kanamin was an expert on 'compensation' - or rather, 'witchcraft' - ......, have you forgotten all of that already?'

　So Lord spoke to me who was watching the situation. Apparently, I'm more appropriate as a teacher of 'chanting'. But I don't remember anything about that technique.

I'm not going to be able to use 'chanting'. Even with my knowledge, I don't know much about it.''
Then it's up to Doi to explain. ...... Well, the technique of 'chanting' is actually strictly speaking a 'spellcraft'. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　That was new to me.
　I didn't know there was such a backstory to the chanting used so casually.

''The basis of 'witchcraft' is to sacrifice something and turn it into power. The 'level up' magic that Reiner calls sacred magic is really 'spellcraft' too. That's because it's sacrificing 'poison' and turning it into power.

　I thought there was a type of magic called 'spellcraft', but it seems that's not the case. 'Sorcery' is a technology, and it seems to be lurking in every part of 'magic'.

Just changing the word, 'witchcraft' has gotten into every part of our magic: ......
'Yeah. So I think we all have the basics of 'witchcraft' on an unconscious level. The only thing left to do is to teach them the 'spellcasting formula' instead of the 'magic formula'.

　After hearing the explanation, Ryner smiles wryly.

'You mean it's easy. Better and better. It's for me.''

　Reiner seemed to like "The Price", but I'm the opposite.
　The two 'chants' I've used are the Flash of Dearness (Di a Wraith) that I inherited from Rowen and the one that mimics Alti's Flame Snake chant.
　As for the Flame Snake's Chant, just by saying it, something was sneakily lost from his heart. Because I felt that I was in personal danger, I haven't used it once since the fight with Arti.
　To be honest, I don't have a good image of 'chanting'.

You're not going to be able to get it back. Some 'chanting' has an irreversible 'price' to pay, don't you think?　I'd appreciate it if you didn't share those things with Reiner as much as possible.
Of course it is. But if you don't know that, you'll regret it when you're dying.　Whatever the 'price' is, it's better than death.
That may be true, but ......

　I also think there are some 'chants' that would be better off dead.

...... Well, aside from chanting or not chanting, I think it's at least good to know it as a trump card. Do (Warawa) is.

　Understanding my concern, Lord takes a stance of teaching only as a last resort.
　However, the one with the liner will use that trump card with impunity. It's also not for my own sake, but to use it easily for someone else's. Because of that premonition, I can't look good.
　However, I couldn't deny it outright, as there were certainly times when knowing would spare me from death.

　Reiner happily begged for a lesson.

'The more cards you have in your hand, the better. 'Tell me quickly, Lord.'
I'll teach you how to chant wind magic. It's a good idea to use the same chanting for each attribute. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the end of the game.
"You've been saying 'quid pro quo' and 'quid pro quo' for a while now, what exactly is being lost?
In a general 'compensation', you simply lose the time you're composing. From there, the danger level increases, and you lose tomorrow's recovery magic and strength with it. And when it comes to the heavy ones--

　In the middle of the explanation, Lord's magical power swells up.
　It's an enormous and vicious magic power worthy of the guardians (guardians) I felt when I met them.

''--'I do not choose the path I walk,'' ''I am the Wind,'' ''I will continue to walk the entire world,'' ''I remember wishing that.'' --Wind Magic 《Wind》!

　With a chant, the wind magic is activated.
　Then the 《Wind》, which should be just basic magic, changes into something else entirely. The air around it condenses and a ball of wind is generated between Lord's hands.
　Instantly, it felt like the air in the room became thinner.
　And a cold sweat runs down the density of that ball of wind. The dense mass of wind, which seemed to pack a single sky, felt like a time bomb was right beside me.
　Even if I didn't think Lord had any malicious intentions, the mere presence of that mighty mass of power there made me uncomfortable.

　Seeing me and Ryner take a step back, Lord laughs as he dexterously dissipates the wind in a fog.

''--It's going to be like this!　Haha, hahahaha!　There's a lot of wind chanting that makes my heart (・・・・・・・) lighter (・・・・・・・) (・・・・・)!　Simply put, it's as intense as after opening a barrel of booze!

　The chanting of wind magic causes Lord's tension, which is just too high, to break through the top.
　Seeing that, Ryner breathes a sigh of relief.

''What. It's the heaviest one and that's the extent of the 'price'?'
And that tension will never return!
Never again?
Yeah, never again. You'll always be like a child.
...... I'll keep that in mind as a trump card.

　Ryner's face twitches at the heavy 'cost' and he takes a step back to Lord, who uses it lightly.
　Not caring about it, Lord continues to explain with a drunken look on his face.

''Also, the typical bad 'chanting' is around the fire chant where your heart burns and the water chant where your heart goes cold...''

　That's exactly what Arti's chanting must be about.
　The feeling of disappearance seems to be that something important in your heart has been burned (...).

Then, Ryner, let's practice some light chanting. 'The road leading from the sky' and 'The road leading to heaven' - this is also a type of chant that makes the tension high, but don't worry, it'll be back to normal soon.

　Following Lord's chanting, Ryner mutters.
　I'm going to practice chanting too, since it's a good idea. If it's the lighter chant, there's no harm in learning it.

''The road that leads from the sky, the road that leads to heaven--''
"'The road that leads from the sky, the road that leads to heaven'...

　The image of using magic to manipulate the flow of air comes to mind.
　And just like the words of the chant, I try to make a path for the air to flow. But the only thing that leaks out of my palm is the dimensional attribute magic power. I can't control the wind.
　In contrast, the next Ryner was able to skillfully manipulate the spiraling breeze.

''Looks like you've already swallowed the liner one.
I'm feeling a little fluffy. Is this what you call 'compensation'? I do feel like the magic effect has gone up a bit.
By comparison, Kanamin is ......

　I tried desperately to stir the wind, but the air around me didn't move.
　This was the moment when I correctly understood how difficult it is to learn magic in this world.

''Kanamin, you don't have any talent for wind magic ....... No, maybe it's because you specialize too much in dimensional magic.''
Mmmmmm: ......

　I'm a little frustrated because I was confident about my magic. I gingerly stifle the desire to continue to bare and challenge the wind magic, and I give up. It's not a good situation to waste your magic power by being a bad side freak.

I'll give up and focus on mastering dimensional magic. ......　
'Kanamin seems to be more efficient that way. I think you don't need to force yourself to learn the magic of other attributes since you used to use dimensional magic to make up the magic effects of other attributes.
'After all, will you be able to imitate wind magic and other things with dimensional magic? If possible, I'd like to have you teach me that one.
But the boy doesn't know how to do it!　Kanamin was super secretive, you know!

　It seems that the upper level dimensional magic is the kind that even the Lord, who is good at magic, can't teach.
　In other words, the only one who can teach me dimensional magic is 'The Ancestor Kanami (me)'. I have no choice but to look for another approach.

'I see. ....... Then, do you have any books written about dimensional magic?　With a castle this big, there should be at least a library.
Hmm, maybe it was in the castle's storeroom. It's true that reading grimoires from a thousand years ago is probably the best thing for Kanamin now. Ah, so that's 10 coppers for the entrance fee to the storeroom!
...... I'm not gonna let you eat in here anymore, okay?
This is the key to the storeroom.

　After threatening to take the key, I ask where the storeroom is, and then I try to walk out of the room.
　Let's leave the Demon King-sama's class to Ryner. I have to take Primarch-sama's class.

But try not to go into the other rooms as much as possible!

　I nod back to that Lord's request and walk down the corridor, leaving the two of them behind.
　My footsteps are the only sound in the long, silent corridor.
　A lot of time has passed while I've been practicing my magic. I'm going to end up doing some research in the storeroom today.

　You'll be able to walk through the empty dining room and the hall next to it to reach the storeroom. A thick door with a monstrous padlock was buried in the wall.
　Using the key I received from Lord, I push the door to the storeroom. There is a creaking sound of rusted iron, and dust falls from the door. It was clear that it hadn't been used for a long time now.

　You take a look inside the stacks and laugh at the devastation. It's fine that the bookshelves are lined up so tightly, but the problem is that it's as if an earthquake had struck. The problem is that a lot of books have fallen to the ground like after an earthquake. It wasn't just unorganized, it was at a level that made it unfit to serve as a storeroom.

　It was a large storeroom worthy of a large castle. It was so deep that you couldn't see the walls in the dark, and you could almost lose the day just looking around. There are so many books that even if you opened a bookstore in town, there would still be plenty of room for them.

　Nevertheless, I'm good at looking for things. I lightly stretch out the Dimension to look for things that might have something to do with magic. While doing so, I lightly put the books away. I don't go through them in alphabetical order, but I try to keep the appearance of the stacks to a minimum.

　Along the way, I found many interesting books.
　Starting from illustrations of the flora and fauna of this world, to a world map from a thousand years ago, and a book on the art of war. All kinds of books were here.
　The books that caught my attention were the history books and heroic tales.

　The history books and heroic tales of this country. --It was synonymous with the material on the Heroic Lord of Vyasia.
　I pictured the face of the girl who would be laughing in my room, and I forgot my original purpose and turned the pages accordingly.

　The history book was incomplete. Even a quick glance at the timeline was full of holes, a world of difference compared to my world history textbook.
　At the beginning of that timeline, it was written.

　-- A 'king' appears in Vyasia and unites the northern nations into one.
